Archer T4U V3 Driver keeps rolling back to Realtek
Hello,
I recently bought a Archer T4U v3 USB Adapter, and everytime i boot my computer the driver resets from the official TP-Link Driver to a generic Realtek Driver, which causes massive packet loss in my connection making it impossible to use. Is there a way to prevent windows 10 from switching the drivers everytime i boot? The only workaround i found was to repair the TP-Link driver through the app, but everytime i reboot the Realtek gets installed again.

Hi,
What do you mean that the driver resets from the official TP-Link Driver to a generic Realtek Driver?
Have you ever installed the generic Realtech driver except the TP-Link official one?
And may I know how do you find it? Any pictures we can refer to?
Did you try to update the driver or reinstall it?
Nice day.

Everytime i reboot the PC i get the usb disconnected and connected sound and the driver changes from the TP-Link to a Realtek. When i repair the driver with the TP-Link application, the driver changes to the correct one, and it works fine when i do that, but when i reboot the pc, the driver gets overwritten by the realtek one and i get massive packet losses with it.
I never installed any realtek driver, windows 10 installed it automatically when i inserted the usb adapter on the pc for the first time, and even if i try to uninstall this driver it gets installed again.
Heres the driver that gets installed everytime over the tp-link one:
And the TP-Link driver when i repair it:

Hi,
Please disable the automatica driver updates on Windows 10 and install the TP-Link official driver. You can refer to the below instruction:
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-automatic-driver-updates-windows-10
After that,please take some time to test whether it works fine.
Any updates, just let me know.
Good day.

@Kevin_Z I texted you yesterday, this is almost the same problem as I described In the other thread
The drivers needs to be fixed , they roll back and disabling windows updates can't be a solution please.
In my case they roll back to a generic from Microsoft that has the same iss

Got tired of waiting and fighting with this device. I tried every trick I know.
I recommend all just to stop fighting with this and windows. Maybe works on OSX and Linux.
Never again TPLINK for me.

@L4nz This is indeed the worst product I have ever had. It's clearly a flaw in the drivers. What a crap. Last time tp-link for me as well.

@TNascimb to everyone who's having issues when using the T4U, don't use the TP-Link provided drivers, are CRAP, the most understandeable thing is to know wich chip uses the T4U V3, and thats in fact a Realtek RTL8812BU
So the next thing is to downoad Realteks driver (https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/rtl8812bu-software)
Then delete Archer T4U software, and make a custom driver install from over the windows default via Dev Manager.
THIS FIXES ALL ISSUES WITH THE INTENDED DEVICE, JUST REMEMBER, when selecting the drivers for W10X64 it will provide a lot of drivers for Realtek products, search and install RTL8812BU.

@Lincer556 I have tried to download the link you provided but I am unable to install the driver via device manager. I tried to install using the setup after extracting the folder but the network adapter T4U V3 has no response.
This is what I did to prevent the roll back to Microsoft's driver from another forum. Solution is to prevent Windows from automatically upgrading drivers (System -> Advanced System Settings -> Hardware -> Device Installation Settings -> No)
Basically disable windows from updating the drivers automatically. To me, the TP-link drivers are definitely better than the Microsoft's driver but TP-Link's driver will spike every 20 seconds or so.
I also changed channel for my 5Ghz to less than 149 and I think it is more stable.
